Community Solo - alone, together, in the darkness.
Our 5-week online winter enquiry to deepen into the mystery and embrace the fertile potential of winter.
The madness of these times, careering towards the holiday season.
Ignoring our exhausted bodies and our discombobulated minds.
Until the calendar drops into 2024 and we go again.
With a resolution to start again, to do more, achieve more.
But what if it didn’t need to be like this…
What if there was a place for you to consciously embrace the darkness?
Where you are invited to bring your questions, anxieties and dreams and sit with them in community.
A place to learn and unlearn with a crew of fellow travellers.
An opportunity to work with our own myths, the stories we carry and our relationship with the landscapes around us.
A space to explore who you are becoming as this civilisation story breaks down.
Our Community Solo is an antidote to these times of overwhelm and busyness, a portal to a deeper way of knowing the world.
We meet online over 5 sessions between 25th January to 15th February, in the depth of winter as the light slowly builds.
As we journey together we’ll connect to the precious moment in the earth’s cycle, deepening your belonging to nature through creative, embodied practice.
Exploring how we might learn to winter well, letting go of what no longer serves.
Sharing our stories around a virtual fire.
Creating the space to dream and cultivate our wild imagination.
Our time together culminates in a nature solo, a threshold walk in the place where you are whether that is the middle of the city, the suburbs, the country or anywhere in-between.
You will journey out there solo but in the knowledge that your community of fellow travellers will also be out exploring their home patch. Each person alone, but together, with our individual and collective questions & longings.
In this way a simple walk becomes a threshold ritual and through it we find a landscape full of myth, places full of ripe potential. It is only through the darkness of winter that we can open up to this fertile possibility and allow new stories to emerge through us.
We return to our community that evening to share our stories through the ancient form of Council and with creative practices designed to intentionally receive the medicine offered to us on our time out on the land.
In our final gathering we take time to incorporate the experience - what is being asked of you now? What do you need from a crew of people ready to support you so you might move into the year with a sense of connection amongst the chaos?
Invest in yourself and your unknowing.
Come and winter with us in community as part of a crew.
We have a few spots left…
“Through a hole in the world, that led me to places I never visited before and gifted me insights I am still working with. About Words and Worlds and Writing. Wayfinding and Web Weaving. Being a crew member on Community Solo last winter has had a lasting impact on me. Don’t miss it.”
